In my opinion its one of the finest pistols made. Plenty strong for heavy loads.   KN

The last one I saw was a 4" going for $600, but it didn't look so hot. However, it looked good enough for someone.

The anaconda's and python's are becoming collector items and the price has skyrocketed in the last year or so.  I've seen used ones at gun shows selling for new prices; they weren't antiques or customs either.  They're sturdy and fine shooters, with a nice out of box trigger pull, at least they were 10 years ago when I had shot some at the gun club I used to belong to.  I felt the price was a little steep at the time, now I see used selling for much more that they did new 10 years ago.
